Being more alert and doing the right thing

asak mufti
how do we be more clever than the chalaak person
sometimes the good people can miss the alarm bells because they want to be nice/ they are nice.

so il give u example

i was working and the woman i was working with was poor at work she got the option to stay/leave she left basically pushed out then i was up for promotion in her line but before she left i dont know what she did and her friend who she hired but i got made to leave too. ofcourse this turn of events has shocked me. im not sad becz of what it led to but the way this happened and people what they did has taught me a lot and almost threw me off as I didnt expect these things. ofcourse i should be less naive but this is what i mean how can one avoid these situations and be the player who does everything byt the quran and sunnah and still wins!?

Do not become over friendly with close ones.
Do not tell your friend everything perhaps one day he will be your enemy.
Do not ill treat your enemy maybe he becomes your friend.
Investigate, observe, clarify then make decisions.
Do not act or make decisions in haste.
Do not be fooled by the external.
